 The project is intended to convert DC output combined from the micro
grid into AC voltage.It helps to obtain appropriate sine wave as output.By
using the project implementation,less THD could be achieved.It employs
only three semiconductor switches, in which one is operating at a high

Application Form
1) How did the idea originate?

Generally,grid power is not sufficient for the people.So nowadays,renewable

energies are used.By using normal inverter,the square wave output damages the
household&industrial appliances.the output willnot be pure sine waveform and the
THD level will be more.Hence,we have chosen this project in order to rectify this
problem.

2) What is the specific problem or gap you have identified, and how does your
idea/start-up address it?

The Problem is that by using normal inverters,square wave output damages the
household and industrial appliances.THD level and energy loss will be more.Due to
improper working of normal inverter ,it can't be interfaced with the grid .The inverter
is well&good for only stand alone system.Even though the inverter be connected to
grid,the working will be improper.By using the project,the inverter can be digitally
controlled and can work both in stand alone system&Grid connected system.

3) Industry : Manufacturing/Engineering

4) Describe your product or service.

Normally,inverters are designed with multiple switches.But the project is intended to

use only three switches.The inverter is fed up with a front-end dcdc conversion stage
and interfaced with the pushpull configuration operating at a desired fundamental
frequency. The duty cycle of the dcdc conversion stage is varied in the form of a
unidirectional sine wave to produce a similar output voltage across the dc-link capacitor.
The unidirectional voltage is made into an alternating voltage by the pushpull
configuration.The working of the inverter can be digitally controlled and the switching
gate pulses are given by using the arduino uno board and driver circuit.The THD level
can be reduced.The controlling of the amount of power fed to the grid is also dealt as
grid connected inverter by changing the phase angle of the inverter output voltage
compared to the grid voltage.

5) What is the estimated size of your target market? How do you expect it to
grow in the next five years?

The primary customers are those who are affected by the improper working of the
normal inverters which damage the appliances. The inverter may helps in more
ways to use the pure sine waveforms in all communities like agriculture, domestic,
industries, hospitals, schools, colleges, electrical sectors. The estimated size of the
target market is the place where the inverter have been used. The target market
includes all the electrical sectors. In next five years,by using the S3 inverters, the
working of the machines will be efficient. The excess energy from the inverter can be
fed and could be connected to the grid for the further use. The energy loss can be
reduced.

6) What are the currently available alternatives to your proposed idea (product
or service) and how is it better than the competition?

4
 The currently available alternatives are the normal inverters which affects the
working of the machines by giving the square wave as the output. Compared to the
available inverters types, S3 inverters is more beneficial with the portable size.
Output of the non-linear loads can be easily connected to the grid with the help of
the S3 inverters. The normal inverters damages the machines by the high THD. But
this inverter produces only less THD.

7) How do you plan to market your proposed idea (product or service) to the
target market?

We will be marketing through the social media such as facebook , twitter, hike,
whatsapp. We will mention the benefits which can be gained from the S3 inverters.
The Problem which has happened by the normal inverter can be rectified and we will
assure that problem will not be happening once again. The machines will be efficient
in working.

8) Describe you Revenue Generation Model.

The project helps to use the output of the renewable energy sources in a proper
manner. The output of the micro-grid can be easily converted into ac ouutput. the
excess energy can be stored in the battery. After the conversion of the AC voltage
by changing the phase angle,the excess energy can be connected to the grid. Thus
the energy can be utilised properly and efficiently.

recognition, etc.).
